Shutting off electricity causes millions in damage from food spoilage to millions not getting paid as their work sites are shutdown. Turning the power back on causes power surges which can also cause fires. Your electronic equipment gets zapped. People have died as a result of the state and power company stupid decisions.

Access to power is not a human right. We do however have the right to make our own power.

Tesla may have had it right.

THIS is what happens when you vote Democrat!

A vote for ANY Democrat at ANY level of government is a VOTE AGAINST AMERICA!

These aren’t bright people. If they revolt it will probably be in demand of even worse further left policies.
